A GST Calculator is a tool or software used to calculate the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on a given amount or transaction. GST is a value-added tax imposed on goods and services in many countries, including India, Australia, and others. The tax is generally calculated as a percentage of the total price or value of the goods and services being sold.

Key functions of a GST Calculator include:
-
Calculating GST on Price: You can enter the original price (before tax) and the GST rate, and the calculator will determine the amount of tax to be added.
- Example: If a product costs $100 and the GST rate is 10%, the calculator will add $10 as GST, making the total price $110.
-
Calculating GST Inclusive Price: If you have a price that already includes GST and want to find out the original price, the calculator can help by subtracting the tax portion.
- Example: If a product costs $110, including a 10% GST, the calculator can subtract the tax ($10) to find the original price ($100).
-
GST Amount: It calculates only the GST portion based on the price and the GST rate.
- Example: A product costing $200 with a 15% GST rate would result in a GST amount of $30.
-
GST Percentage: If you know the GST-inclusive price and the total price, the calculator can help you determine the rate of GST applied.
A GST Calculator typically asks for the original price and the applicable GST rate, then calculates:
- GST Amount (Price × GST Rate)
- Total Price (Including GST) (Price + GST Amount)
These calculators are especially useful for businesses, accountants, and consumers to easily calculate the tax and determine final prices for goods and services. They are available as online tools, mobile apps, or integrated into accounting software.
